No one speaks about Lienert-Brown, 6 points by penalties thanks to him, one of the victory and his play for the try . For me is one of the best players, I love his confidence in every situation
Up the Mighty Chiefs! It's been a long time since they won a few games at the death. Normally they're on the receiving end. They were the better team for the entire game and are deserved winners.
Again, Damian McKenzie has his MOjo working. Great save. Great game. Thanks for the the highlights. Much appreciated. NZ rugby just keeps getting better and better.
alb is so fkin good and consistent. He is way above any other centre in the picking order at the moment. Based on super rugby performances I would bring in havili at 12 and alb at 13. Both superb. Goodhue, laumape and ioane have been subpar
Exactly!! He's always consistent even at international level. He's not flashy or show pony, he doesn't one dimensionally run up the guts and he always feeds his outside backs or chooses good options. The fact that he goes looking for turnovers is big feature you don't see most centres do. His defence is superb I will mention he loves to do this rush out the line tackles which can create a huge play and result to a turn over or it's a bad read which cause the opposition to slip through but other than that overall he is our best midfielder.

Well done to the Chiefs. My Highlanders had their chances and we certainly didn't take them. Frustrating when Hunt leaves 10 points off the boot and Ta'avao gets a try off a clear forward pass.
GREAT GREAT GAME. Both teams deserved the win. If Highlanders had of landed their they would've won the game. Chiefs back to their nuggety grafting best. The Highlanders beating the Crusaders last week was no fluke. Great set plays by the Highlanders.
Blues fan here but that last try to the chiefs, leading to a potential penalty and ultimately a try was forward, maybe even twice and uncalled on. That was a big factor. Unfortunate errors like that, unnoticed by the TMO led the Chiefs to win.
If McKenzie doesn't get first start on the Full back Jersey this year for the All Blacks then something is really wrong with the All Blacks coaching staff

Great game! Was that a forward pass from Mckenzie a few phases before they finally scored at 3:24? Why was the penalty which he missed taken at half way, when the high tackle occurred on the 10m line? Annoyed these games aren't covered on Foxtel here in Australia
Why was the first Highlanders try awarded despite the 8 coming in the side of the maul and taking out the fringe defenders? Why wasn't 19 yellow carded for basically clotheslining McKenzie at 3:18?
@@PhoenixSunsNZ It was a CLEAR forward pass: Hands forward, Trajectory of ball over a significant distance was forward (little wobble also eg wind and momentum).

The misuse of the bunker is F! over-analysis paralysis of forensic level footage which kills the spectacle and also the refs on the pitch decision-making. This was a big mistake however especially given the forward pass was a critical piece of skill to pull off to get the score which was NOT skill due to such high deviation forwards thus significantly disadvantaging the defence by rule-breaking not by skill.
On the penalty situation... they were playing under advantage,so when the second penalty (high tickle) happens they have to rest at the original call (offside advantage) at the halfway line.
@@center__mass clearly they know the rules, but the refs usually don't ping you for advancing a single metre so they players are usually fine to do it, O'keefe just decided to ping everything for some reason

Ugh Highlanders giving away possession and offensive initiative and penalty count so many times in this match trying to make something in the backs. Talk about scuttling your own game management to set up a cushion as the clock winds down... Poor.

The longer DMacs hair grows the better he gets its like hes super saiyan mode.
I love watching the chiefs win or loose always entertain with their mana from South Africa supporter 🖒🖒 for every game 😎
That line out move for the Highlanders first try was genius👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Out of the more junior players I'm really impressed with Ah Kuoi this season. The man got a massive work rate and played for the entire game as well.
Absolute work horse he is
Been pretty consistent every game
Line out retention needs work but other than that he’s super solid
Good to see mckenzie beasting it weekly again.
Mckenzie... Carrying everyone as usual
@kook2zz boiii what game are you watching bro. alb and mckenzie put on a show tonight.
Can't say the same about your mum
Third time lucky for DMac missed drop kick missed penalty then a successful penalty won't get that many chances often

The ta'avou pass was fine. The angle the other chiefs player was running made it seem that way

Line ball backwards motion in my opinion. And he had two penalties, so he decided to take the kick from the center to hopefully have a better angle.
